Setting Limits on Deposits and Bets: The Key to Safe Play

1. Why do you need limits

Budget protection: limiting the maximum deposit amount prevents overspending on entertainment.

Risk control: the rate limit reduces the chance of instant large losses and smooths out balance fluctuations.

Psychological comfort: clear frames reduce anxiety and help focus on the pleasure of the game, and not on the pursuit of "wagering."

2. Types of limits and their features

Limit type	Description	Value recommendations
Deposit	Total amount that can be deposited per day/week/month	Day: 50-100 AUD; Week: 200-300 AUD
Rate	Maximum bet per spin or round	1-2% of the total bankroll
Losses (loss)	Total amount of losses for the period, after achievement - blocking the game	30-50% of the planned game budget
Time	Duration of one game session	30-45 minutes

3. How to set limits

1. Log in to your personal account

Find the "Responsible Gaming" or "Responsible Gaming" section.

2. Select Constraint Type

Deposit, rate or loss.

3. Set values

Enter specific amounts and periods (day/week/month).

4. Confirm changes

It is often necessary to enter a password or code from SMS for confirmation.

5. Check activation

After saving, the limits become effective immediately and cannot be raised without delay (usually 24-48 hours).

4. Best practices

Conservative approach: start with low limits and gradually adjust after analyzing real expenses.

Budget sharing: a separate "game bank" account with a clearly defined size; do not mix with fixed assets.

Regular revision: once a month analyze how comfortable your limits are and adjust if necessary.

Limit combination - Use both deposit, rate, and loss limits for tiered protection.

Reminder tools: Set timers on your phone or use casino time and amount reminders.

5. Benefits of strict restrictions

Session stability: less "drawdowns" and emotional takeoffs, smooth and long playing time.

Financial discipline: a clear idea of spending and the absence of unexpected debts.

Healthy play: Fewer impulsive decisions, reduced stress and risk of gambling addiction
